Young women and girls were engaged to identify the issues of cyberviolence they faced, and increased their understanding of the issue. Young men were also engaged to examine how they could contribute to reduce the prevalence of this form of violence. The advisory committee examined various types of cyberviolence, identified key partners, and proposed strategies that reflect the realities of current social network platforms to address the issue. Project partners, young women and girls were engaged to implement strategies to address this form of gender based violence in the community.
